A certain So-Cal retailer has blended something up with DC LIFE to include custom laces and insoles : Introducing the DC LIFE Admiral for BLENDS.
The inspiration came from the Japanese heritage of the two owners. Having grown up in Japan, Mike Toe and Tak Kato wanted to incorporate something familiar from their youth and incorporate the design, look, and feel that BLENDS is known for. With this, Mike and Tak designed the interior graphics based off traditional Japanese playing cards and the white exterior is reminiscent to the “less is more” approach that BLENDS brings to retail.
The custom Admiral is available now at BLENDS retail locations below:

Diggin the design of this. Reminds me of something Supra would make
way to knock off the supra skytop. you fail again DC
I wouldn\’t compare the two let alone call this a failure…
The ADMIRAL is not a new shoe! DC has had this shoe for at least two years now! This is a color up for Blends of an existing classy model!
Supra Skytop’s are not original! Just because it’s the first shoe you got put on to doesn’t mean it came out first.
After the fact…. Supra\’s are made horribly and the DC Life kicks are made far better.
Craftsmanship wise it\’s like comparing a Ford to a Lexus!
Really clean look and like the truth said, this is a model that has been out for more than 2 years. 2 different shoes with different lines. Both have their own look and the only thing that is the same is the high top. Nuff said
i’m with matt. dc is trying way too hard to be cool. stick to pacsun & tilly’s… fail.
